Anybody have something like this? I figure they must have existed in some form at some stage as a training aid for the Brits during the era of the SMLE. I'm taking possession of some No. 1 Mk. III Lee Enfield's this week and would love to read up on them a bit beforehand. I'd obviously prefer them in .pdf format so I can just print them out, I'm much less keen on links to buy them online, due to both time and money constraints.

I came across a US Army Marksmanship Manual for the 1911 the other week and it was quite an interesting read. I prefer the Army manuals as they tend to start off very simple and also tend to completely cover stripping and maintenance, with large exploded views and simple steps to follow. I've tried Google with no luck. Any help with this would be appreciated!

Edit: Maybe the Australians even produced a manual? That would be even better!

Note to Moderators: I figure this is the right place for this sort of thing. If not, sorry for the hassle, feel free to move as desired.
 
Here is link to a fellow selling a copy of the Musketry Regulations dated 1914 for $20.00. That's a pretty good price for an original copy.

Try a search for "Musketry Regulations" either on the web or on e-bay

I have both the WWI and WII manuals, as well as post war Irish Soldier's Handbook. But I haven't had the time to try scanning them and posting them.

Congrats on your Lee Enfields, you will soon be addicted. Resistance is futile!:D
